A Tournament Of Shadows I. The Third Rome The Roman Emperor, Constantine the Great, converted to Christianity. With the Edict of Milan in 313 C.E., the beleaguered cult from Palestine was made the religion of the Empire. Eleven years later (324 C.E.) Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire to the Greek city of Byzantium which he renamed Constantinoupolis, or Constantinople. At the inauguration of the “New Rome” the Emperor declared that no pagan rites should ever be performed... Read more

Modern Olympics And Secret Societies

As they were held on the sacred soil of Elis, the Olympic games had always been accompanied by solemn offerings to the gods, along with processions, sacrifices, and prophecy. In the year 393 C.E., the Roman Emperor Theodosius, inspired by religious zeal, declared the Olympian games forever abolished. Theodosius, it was said, was unable to disconnect “athletics from heathenism.” Many centuries later, the Olympian games were celebrated once more on Greek soil, under the auspices of a Christian...

Theodora Dodge: A Flagrant Insurrection

PART VI A FLAGRANT INSURRECTION The longer I stayed in Brussels, the more I saw of relentless oppression on the part of the Germans, of growing and reckless defiance on the part of the Belgians. For every man who was deported or shot, ten seemed to spring up to avenge him in some strange and unexpected way. Yet the shooting continued. Denunciations were aimed at those in the highest positions of authority as well as at the most obscure,... Read more

PART V LIFE IN OCCUPIED BELGIUM After that terrible night when the Germans had come to the Château d’E——, there were, of course, the bitter and galling readjustments to the new conditions which their coming necessitated. I saw little of this myself, however, for as soon as full daylight had flooded the house, and we were set at liberty from that closed chamber of death; as soon as the poor dead boy had been laid to rest in the garden—Félix...

PART IV THE FALL OF ANTWERP The fall of Antwerp was one of the most dramatic incidents of the War. Coming when it did and as it did, it cut sharply across the hopes of a world which was awaiting the outcome of the siege in anxious suspense; a world which, despite the gathering evidence to the contrary, still clung to the hope which had been kept alive all through the terrible weeks since the first shock of Liège, that...

PART III THE RACE TO THE SEA About the middle of September 1914, the world began to waken to a realization of the fact (still only dimly felt, however) that the War was entering a new phase; that the theatre of the fiercest conflict was to change, and those of us in England who were straining at the leash in our eagerness to get “over there,” breathlessly snatched at any, and all news which came from the front. Looking back... Read more

Theodora Dodge: “It’s War.”

Last updated on: July 3, 2024 at 9:27 am By Shawn F. Higgins

PART II IT’S WAR It is with a peculiar reticence, difficult perhaps to explain, that many of us who took part in the War speak of it and of our own War experiences, although very probably few of us have memories which are more tragically dear. To those of us who passed through it (even those who, like myself, played such very insignificant roles,) the world still continues largely to be divided into two parts—those who were “in it” and...

Last year I wrote a piece titles “Where The Sandstone Yawns,” about the mysterious happenings of Custer’s Black Hills Expedition. One of the main “characters” of the (non-fiction) story was William Ludlow. This same William Ludlow that served as the basis for Jim Harrison’s fictional character of the same name in Legends Of The Fall. This, then, is a conclusion to Ludlow’s story, which , I think, is heroic and fascinating as fiction—Shawn. William Ludlow... Read more
